	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Perhaps more unusual than it is successful (...) But for all the somewhat arch dialogue –this is a film which skews towards talk rather than action– there is little sense that any of the characters has an identifiable voice"	NEU
United States	Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"An ambitious effort, a movie that is both a tense crime drama and a musical. Skillful attention has been paid to both elements by Malachi Smyth and a strong cast. But these elements never come together (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger Polygon	"By the end of this movie, its inventive genre cross-breeding feels as worn-out as any other"	NEG
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Time Out	"'The Score' doesn't always strike the right notes, but it has its high points thanks to a simple, rewarding romantic arc (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Tyler Nichols JoBlo	"I'm sure the fact that I'm not into musicals makes me far from the target audience for this picture. Even so, I still really enjoyed the story and performances present"	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger Paste Magazine	"Its inventive genre cross-breeding feels as worn-out as any other"	NEG
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"If nothing else, this crime comedy-musical wins points for originality (...) The movie noodles along amiably, but in the cold light of day, its quirks begin to feel like flaws (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
	David Katz Cineuropa	"The musical form creates a kind of emotional realism and transparency. This feeling is what gives 'The Score' integrity; however, it's hard to envisage what audience it could potentially appeal to"	NEU
